Efficient Archietecture for Effective Utilization of Harvested Power in Microscale Energy Harvesting.
Masters thesis, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad.
Abstract
Recent developments in combining sensors, microprocessors, and radio frequency (RF)
communications holds the potential to revolutionize the way we monitor and maintain critical
systems.
In the future, literally billions of wireless sensors may become deeply embedded within
machines, structures, and the environment. Sensed information will be automatically collected,
compressed, and forwarded for condition based maintenance. Energy Harvesting comprises a
promising solution to one of the key problems faced by battery-powered Wireless Sensor
Networks, namely the limited nature of the energy supply (finite battery capacity). By harvesting
energy from the surrounding environment, the sensors can have a continuous lifetime without any
needs for battery recharge or replacement.
